What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
Tl contact owns a 2007 suzuki gsx-r750. While driving between 80-100 mph and attempting to make a turn, the contact applied the brakes and the motorcycle whipped him over the handle bars. The frame separated and the body of the motorcycle split in half.
I was coming to a stop at a t intersection when my motorcycle fell. I got back up to try and move it but the motorcycle would not move. I fell on my left side but found out that the right side of my rotor inner mounting plate was bent. The approx speed I was going was 15 mph.
Bike unexpectedly accelerates. No control. Happen at low speed after riding rough and bucking and coming out of a turn. It accelerated so fast it threw me off, took off and laid on its side red lining. No control and really scary. Throttle did not responded. This happened at a low rpm.
Problem has been labeled the herky jerkies. While riding at any rpm when the rear wheel speed matches engine speed the throttle shuts off abruptly with no warning, throwing you forward and overloading the front wheel.
Feels like bike is stalling, then start again. Very dangerous when turning or cruising around town with cars behind you while you have sudden loss of power. No causes found as to why it's happening. Suzuki dealerships should recall these 2007 bikes. This problem is unacceptable. I am selling my bike immediately.
There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact turned off and restarted the motorcycle. The contact changed the brakes, and brake fluid; however, the failure reoccurred. The motorcycle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 78,085.
Takata recall I keep going through rectifiers, stators, fuses, fuel pumps, wiring, battery, starter and even a a used ecu plus a few other things all coming back to the rectifier missing everything up a few times a year and now again I'm gonna have to send my bike back out and pay for everything to get done again I'm…
I was at a stoplight when the vehicle next to me told me that my bike was on fire. I was unaware prior to the driver of the vehicle next to me telling me. I could not directly see the flame while upright on the bike, but I was able to lean over to my left side to see a flame underneath the gas tank.
